Executive Assistant to the President (Former Employee), Mississauga, ON – February 26, 2015

Pros: very interesting environment and position. learned so much!

Cons: long hours (9 hours minimum) and a significant commute

Support of all endeavors of the President;all financial documentation regarding the President's office;travel arrangements;expenses and reconciliations;calendar management.Co-workers: Although I made many friends, the position itself sees one as a very solitary person. Still, I did enjoy the group very much.Hardest part of the job: getting there on time despite awful traffic.Most enjoyable part of the job: privileged environment where I often was allowed to travel along with or on behalf of the president, and attended many enjoyable company functions.

Assuming the responsibility of your job is rewarding. It has taught me vigilance and discipline. I have learnt to pay more attention to detail and I have also picked up skills that are not typical of other professions.

Schedule changes day to day,, management is too full of themselves,, will let you quit rather than make things right.. numerous people quit in last year,, keep changing shifts to do away with overtime and end up losing workers.Now there is no guards ,,so much more dangerous..Never would recommend the place again..

Good place to work, good environment for those who like variety in their everyday work. Fast paced and requires a mind that is capable of adapting. Very difficult to move up in the company, most advancement opportunities require you to move to different provinces.

Typical day at work is to come in, look at the schedule to make sure you're not late because it might have changed since you left the day before. Go and talk to supervisor about missing hours on pay check, go do your run without breaks if possible, finish your run, come back, talk to supervisor again about missing hours, look at the schedule because it might had changed again, go home exhausted. Next day do it all over again. No room for advancement, even if you somehow get into management you will have to work 16 hour shifts for under $50,000. No communication between management and employees at all. Hardly any training provided, lack of discipline, not providing basic equipment....

this job is very demanding and kept me very busy .every morning we were stationed at a different post.we covered the security in the whole airport from searching vehicle, passengers, cargo, airplanes, all gates leading to the runway's, I was able to work alone or with a team,The work was hard ,but I enjoyed it .I like keeping busy and this job was very very busy.management was very strict but fair and friendly at the same time. co- worker were very professional .the whole job experience was very enjoyable

Busy, fast paced.Co-workers are great. Management sucks. They don't talk to each other. They expect you to work whenever they want, very little scheduled hours. The most enjoyable part of the job was leaving!!

Low pay,50% turn over rate,poor training,hi risk no protection,poor management,too much political correctness,caustic atmosphere,no future,company is quick to abandon or acuse staff,company is always screwing over staff so the union is always fighting the company etc etc etc

Cons: management was a little backwards and hard to understands sometimes

I started working for Brinks In 2009, I had a little girl that was not in daycare and a husband who lost his job due to being laid off. So when i started i learned alot about the aspects of money, being in a security building, having been cleared to work for such a demanding job, i was happy. As the year went on i was trying to do my best with keeping up but with home life, my husband finding a new ft job working almost 50 hours a week and no daycare it was hard so i did end up talking to them and explaining the situation and with hours already being cut back they laid me off in 2010. The business was good, the people were good just management and company background was not the best and once you are in working you realize more and more. I did like working there tho, i took pride in making sure all was right when it came too deliveries and making sure all money added up properly. The hardest part of the job was just knowing how there system was when it came to disbursting the money to different offices, i would have to say the most enjoyable part would have been the co workers, all were down to earth and took me in like there own and helped me learn all that needed to be known about Brinks and how there company worked.
